- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
